Why do you become so confrontational when someone deigns to correct you?


I am curious, are you being sarcastic? You just asked me why I would get upset when someone "deigns" (dict: to behave as if one is descending from a superior position or rank) to "correct" me (dict: to rebuke or punish in order to improve).

Your choice of words aside, I care about this forum, and I don't want it to become the usual deal where people assert their ego at the expense of actual discussion. My intent was not confrontation, it was cooperation.

Edit: Never mind. I see from your "ha ha ha" post below that you are trolling. I guess that answers my question.
